Detail InformationEdit

The airbase at Chiran, MinamiKyūshū, Kagoshima, Japan, served as the departure point for hundreds of Special Attack or kamikaze sorties launched in the final months of World War II. A peace museum dedicated to the pilots, the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots (Chiran Tokkō-Heiwa-Kaikan), now marks the site.
In 1975 a museum was built to commemorate the lives of the pilots and document their ‘patriotic efforts for peace’. Enlarged in 1986, exhibits include four planes (a Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa, a 1943 Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien, a 1944 Nakajima Ki-84 Hayate, and a Mitsubishi Zero recovered from the seabed in 1980), letters, poems, essays, testaments, and other artefacts, photographs of the 1,036 pilots in the order in which they died, and a Grand piano on which two of the pilots played the Moonlight Sonata the night before their final mission.
